It's good that Mike can get you one. I'd rather deal with him anyway.

I'm really hoping that going with these smaller motors is going to be the right thing to do. Just as a test, I put my 8L back into my buggy. I geared it 14/46 and ran it on a 4800mAh 4S Kokam pack with a MM esc. I took it out to the races tonight and spanked every Jato out there. My buggy didn't run that fast with the 7XL in it and the 6XL would have drawn too many amps.

It's a joy, ain't it. ;)

What kind of buggy did you put the 8L into then? The 8L is capable of some serious power on 12cell(4s) indeed, remember the RC Car Action brushless revo?

I think I made the right choice as far as a motor, either the 3D, or it was the 1515/1.5Y (1500Kv)... but I wanted a nice light motor. My truck should weight in at roughly 9.8lbs now, with the added battery weight, as well as the lighter motor.

AAngel, how hot did the L can motor get after racing?

So I got my new Quark yesterday I forgot to mention. I am going to give it a test run today, to see if it can make the truck move forward... :eek:

I dissected one of the caps that were in the last Quark and it looks like there is some sort of serrations, or major imperfections in the plates of the cap. That is maybe what S&T is talking about 'sub pair' caps. This might have been the reason it popped, and the leads were blown off?

I am wondering if I should remove the caps that comes with the Quark and just use my caps?

Oh man, I lost track of this tread.

Bruce, the L can motor gets outrageously hot in either a buggy or truck. I run my 8L in my buggy for parking lot racing only. For the track, I usually switch over to an 8XL.

zpb, have you gotten a Neu yet?

No, Mike hasn't responded back yet about the 'simple FET clamp' I am getting him to make. I think he has the motor though, he must be busy. Mike needs some help I think. ;)
